Case Study: Kirkland & Ellis achieves 25% reduction in paralegal docketing time with Alt Legal

Alt Legal Reduced Michelle’s Task Time by 25%

Michelle Foy, a trademark paralegal at Kirkland & Ellis, faced the common IP-docketing challenge of manually tracking filings, statuses, and statutory deadlines after using a variety of legacy systems. Kirkland & Ellis recently switched to Alt Legal’s IP management platform, giving Michelle an automated system to replace time-consuming, non-billable docketing work.

Alt Legal automatically detects filings, updates statuses, calculates statutory and TTAB deadlines, and sends alerts while providing opposition workflow, reports, tasking, and live support. As a result, Michelle reports spending about 25–30% less time on docketing, faster onboarding to manage the global prosecution portfolio, and more accurate, organized deadlines—making Kirkland & Ellis more efficient overall.
